Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Ystervarkpunt (March 1999 - July 1999)

Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 3m off Ystervarkpunt (34.395°S; 21.7305°E), along the south coast of South Africa, between 25 March 1999 and 10 July 1999. Note that the data that falls outside of these dates is not from the deployment. At selected sites around Southern Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures.
